Patients very often visit the podiatrist with foot pain, foot odour, unsightly corns and hardened skin. Proper foot care is important not only for aesthetic but also for health reasons. It is very important to moisturise the skin after washing. It is best to use creams containing natural plant oils and minerals. If you notice any disturbing changes on your feet (skin redness or cracking, itching, pimples), you should visit a specialist. Specialised treatment may be necessary. People with diabetes and circulation problems should take special care of their feet. You should also remember to wear suitable footwear and not to get too sweaty; you should not lend your shoes or socks to others or use shared towels. This is how we can get infected with, for example, foot fungus.
